    There isn't any proper data on the height in Serbia (or Bosnia or Croatia). It is well known that they are tall but there haven't been any nationally representative samples on them available. The 182 cm and 166.8 cm figures are based off a few students aged 18-30 from the University of Novi Sad.

    Only the countries that are highlighted in green have nationally representative height surveys (but keep in mind even many of the green shaded ones are based on self-reporting): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ight_worldwide

    Genetic diversity after Slavs mixed with the already tall Illyrians could also be why Dinaric Slavs are so tall.

    I don't think living in high altitude by itself makes one tall. Otherwise, people from the eastern Balkans, Swiss Alps, etc. should show a similar pattern.
    I am tall 189 cm, my father is 180 cm, my grandfather was around 170 cm, my great-grandfather was around 185 cm, and my great-great-grandfather was taller than me. My origin is from Dinaric Alps.
    From my mother side great-grandfather was also taller than grandfather and great-great-grandfather was taller than both of them.

    Among Serbs the shortest generations were which was born roughly in period 1925-1945, people which was born before that were taller, and more and more tall futher into the past. People which was born in period of Tito rule are taller than generations 1925-1945, and people which was born after 1980 are very tall, they are much taller than their fathers and especially grandfathers.

    In biology, it's called Bergmann's rule.
    Bergmann's rule is an ecogeographical rule that states that within a broadly distributed taxonomic clade, populations and species of larger size are found in colder environments, and species of smaller size are found in warmer regions. Although originally formulated in terms of species within a genus, it has often been recast in terms of populations within a species. It is also often cast in terms of latitude.

    Arctic grey wolves are significantly taller than wolves from Middle-East or northern Mexico for example. Being large is only an advantage in cold environments, although it didn't prevented the Pleistocene megafaune living in North America and Eurasia from being driven to extinction, because these huge creatures were not able to compete for food with smaller animals, more adapted to climate changes, socially better organized.

    The same thing happened to the placodermi, prehistoric jawed fish at the top of the food chain, preying on sharks, yes...on sharks! 400 millions years later, sharks are still here whereas placodermi became fossiles.

    Size matters not.

    Nope. Southern European males can't even fuck their own women anymore, your fertility rate is the lowest and nobody wants to associate with you.

    WHY ITALIAN MEN ARE SUCH MAMA’S BOYS
    Why Italian Men Are Such Mama’s Boys

    SOURCENIKADA / GETTY
    ACUMEN
    WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
    Because too much of a good thing — including Mom’s cooking — can be a bad thing.
    By Silvia Marchetti
    THE DAILY DOSEJAN 15 2017

    Italian mothers have a saying: “I figli sono pezzi di cuore.” But instead of “children are pieces of the heart,” maybe it should be “they will never leave.” Because for the majority of mothers and their kids in Italy, it’s as if the umbilical cord never gets cut, and they remain tethered together for the rest of their lives. There’s good reason. According to 2016 Eurostat statistics:

    MORE THAN TWO THIRDS OF ITALIAN MILLENNIALS LIVE WITH THEIR PARENTS.
    It’s a trend that primarily involves males — females leave much sooner, typically by the age of 22. Compare that with the rate in the U.S., where, the Pew Research Center reported in 2014, only 32.1 percent of young adults were still living with Mommy and Daddy. Italy also has the distinction of faring better than only one country in Europe — Slovakia, home to 69.6 percent “sticky” homesick youth.

    Why might Italian boys be reluctant to fly the coop? Consider the everyday scene in a typical household: Mama cooks, cleans, shops for groceries and does the laundry while Papa covers the rent and pays the bills. Their son wakes up a little before noon, enjoys a lavish breakfast prepared by his mom and ventures out to spend the day rock climbing. He’s not studying, working or even looking for a job, and he couldn’t care less about his future, because he believes his parents will always be around. They will die, of course, but that’s a reality he chooses not to burden himself with.

    Whatever they’re called, apparently it’s A-OK to be 40 and still living under the same roof as your parents. Over here, it’s like we operate in another time dimension, where age is very relative. Being 25 in Italy is like being 10 in the U.S., and 40 is akin to 25. The average age for graduating from college is 30 to 35, in part because many Italian students spend up to 10 years taking courses, sitting for just one exam a year, inching closer to retirement without having set foot in the labor market.

    But who wouldn’t love to be on a never-ending holiday at home, coddled by Mom? Well, Danes, Swedes and their fellow Northern Europeans would likely decline, given that their progressive parents kick them out of the house when they’re barely teenagers, and the number of those refusing to leave is less than 4 percent. “It’s evolution: Even mother birds throw their hatchlings out of the nest. Those who learn to fly survive, the rest die,” says high school sociology teacher Rosa Maria Bianchini. “If nature does it, aren’t humans also animals?”

    A persuasive argument, unless you’ve known any Italian mamme. They’re a unique breed. “This phenomenon is largely due to a cultural mindset that survives in archaic, matriarchal Italy, where the male son was pampered and spoiled, while the female daughter was used as an asset to better her family’s economic position through marriage,” Bianchini explains. Boys were looked upon as future leaders whose mission was to preserve their family’s status by passing down the surname and lineage to the next generation. “I see this every day in class,” says Bianchini. “Boy pupils are allowed to flunk because it’s macho, while girls get grounded.”

    But it’s more than a matter of cultural heritage. Italy’s triple-dip recession boosted youth unemployment to 36.5 percent — one of the highest rates in Europe. “The first victims of the protracted crisis are youth,” says Gianni Toniolo. The professor of economics at LUISS in Rome notes that many have lost their jobs or have only temporary three-month contracts that give them no stability in building an independent life. “The worst part is they see no hope in the future,” Toniolo says.

    Which helps explain why so many Italian youth sit around at home, waiting for work to drop in their laps while Mom and Dad keep the household running. “La famiglia è sacra,” as they say: Family is sacred. As long as you don’t mind washing your 40-year-old son’s socks.

    Literally nothing worse than being a Southern European "male". Physically small, ugly, too weak for manual labor, too dumb for a smart job, no money, no property, no future. Your national fertility rate is the lowest in the world for a good reason.

    south euro men still fuck nordic women all the time. Btw the spanish and portuguese fertility rate were way higher than the nordic ones until the 90s. loads of ppl want to associate with southern europeans. Btw england has a very high fertility rate, my county has a higher fertility rate than most nordic countries alone lmao
    Nordic countries send southern euro men to work for them and fuck their women literally. try again ugly autist
